Why we ♥ Fiona Clark

Today this drawing arrived from Fiona as a trade for photos I FINALLY developed of Smart Fitzjerrell Fall 07 shoot, but have yet to send (of course!).

Fiona is in a similar position to me when I left school- can’t get a full-time gig. I, too was unable to take her on as a designer this fall but we are still holding out because that day will come. In the meantime we maintain a desk that no one ever sits in, which we named Fiona's desk! It’s magical:

Even though she is up against some odds, Fi is becoming a better designer every day, honing her skills and working freelance for cash. Most recently she has been drawing type and patterns - some of her drawings are for sale on Etsy. You should already know about her blog and site.
